In a heavily regulated environment, where challenges can come from any direction, you want lawyers who can see around corners and know the rules and regulations A to Z.
Overview
Operating in a robust regulatory landscape means being prepared. As lawyers who work within the federal regime every day and have decades of experience, we are the constant source of knowledge for our clients. We advise offshore oil and gas operators and lease holders on existing and new legislation, regulations, and enforcement efforts. We are prepared to guide and assist when agency actions adversely affect your operations or when third parties such as environmental groups or coastal states challenge your activities.
Because of our broad knowledge of the complex regulatory landscape offshore as well as the constantly evolving legislative and regulatory changes in this area, we are able to provide legal and practical guidance that allows you to make sound business decisions. In addition to day-to-day regulatory advice and filings, we handle administrative appeals and litigation in federal court to reverse agency orders and decisions that adversely affect federal offshore development and operations.
We work on a regular basis interpreting and advising clients on the many complex statutes that apply offshore including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Oil Pollution Act, Clean Water Act, and National Environmental Policy Act.
